Agnes A. Spada (nee Pettrizzie) age 82 of Toms River, formerly of Wayne, died peacefully on Saturday, February 16, 2013 with the comfort of her son Robert by her side.
Agnes was born in the home on Front Street in North Arlington. She was raised in Union City having graduated from Emerson High School in Union City with the Class of 1948. After high school Agnes worked for Foremost Corrugated in Little Ferry as a bookkeeper. She also worked for Sclavo Corporation in Wayne before retiring from the Silver Threads Company of Toms River in 1995.
She met Robert L. Spada, who was Captain of the Saint Michael's High School football team also in Union City, when he stumbled upon her trying to make a u-turn with her car. Their first date was to see the movie Moulin Rouge and they soon fell in love. They married on February 19, 1955 and enjoyed a forty-five year loving and devoted marriage before Robert’s passing in 2000.
Agnes will be remember as a person who loved music, especially Louis Prima, Frank Sinatra, and most recently Country Music. She was a great mom who, in her younger years, was a great cook.
She was the loving mother of Robert J. Spada of Toms River; devoted sister of John Pettrizzie of Wayne, Joanne Pettrizzie of Wayne, Frances Ianuale of Wayne, Marie Mancini of Cliffside Park, and the late Madeline Pettrizzie.
